Embedding videos directly into your guides provides a richer, more engaging experience for users than simply linking to an external player. This guide walks you through the steps to correctly extract the necessary URL from Vimeo's share settings and embed it into your guides

Step 1: Access the Video's Share Options

  1. Navigate to the Vimeo video you wish to embed.

  2. Locate and click the Share button (usually a paper airplane or an arrow icon) located near the bottom right of the video player.

Step 2: Locate and Copy the Embed Code

  1. In the pop-up window, look for the section titled Embed or the </> icon.

  2. Click on the Embed option to reveal the full HTML <iframe> code snippet.

  3. Copy this entire code snippet to your clipboard.

Step 3: Extract the Pure Video Source (The src Link)

When embedding into certain platforms, you only need the raw URL of the video player, not the entire HTML <iframe> tag. This URL is found within the src="..." attribute of the code you just copied.

Example Embed Code:

<iframe title="vimeo-player" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/123456789?h=12345665" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; web-share"   allowfullscreen></iframe>

Your Target Link:

The link you need is the content inside the quotation marks following src=.

In the example above, the correct link to use is: https://player.vimeo.com/video/123456789?h=12345665

Step 4: Embedding the Link in Your Guide

  1. Go to your guide and paste the link
